Unhappy Paul Hunter dies of cancer
Always had a weak spot for snooker, and I very sad to hear the news today of Paul's death (or anyone struck down by illness a such a young age).

What a terrible shame, he seemed a top bloke and was a great competitor in snooker.......

I used to enjoy watching him purely for shallow reasons that he was best looking player on the snooker circuit.
Very sad to hear of his death, life can be so damn cruel at times.
My thoughts are with his friends and family.

Thumbs up Sad news indeed
A Sad loss to Snooker, and Britisgh Sport as a whole.

Incidentally, he spent some time at Kirkwood Hospice apparently. This is where Chris Hall was cared for I believe. Kirkwood is a very fine Hospice which does some very great work, giving help and restbite care helping families of those suffering like Chris and Paul. I believe it relies heavily if not soley on charitable donations. HINT -> pls click on link below.

Welcome To Kirkwood Hospice

I remember watching Paul playing at my snooker club when he was 15. I was playing on the next table. He watched him play 3 frames in the first 2 he had breaks of 50+ and on the 3rd frame at 60 he told his friend not to talk to him as he wanted to concentrate, he ended up rattleing a red in the jaws of a pocket at 78 and he still had half a dozen reds on the table! It was amazing to watch him.
I am sure Paul would have become world champ at some point in his life!
Although he won a few tornaments, I don't think we ever saw him at his best.

It's a great shame when shit like this happens,

RIP Paul,

Ali
